Fire Bird Sword

Signifying a powerful transformational rebirth after death, this phoenix engraved sword is very unique and often overlooked, however, it is just as honored and respected as the iconic Chinese dragon sword, and even more-so because of its immortal status. Additional beasts included in this martial work of art include the ram, a beast of the earth and grounding, and finally the tiger, a beast of fierce warrior prowess. 

Beautifully finished with a purple sandalwood handle, red sandalwood scabbard and hand-craved brass fittings, this Jian Chinese sword is not only highly collectable, but also a formidable cutting and thrusting Chinese war sword.
